Scholarly editions contribute to and support research in the humanities by providing accurate reading texts of works of literary, historical, theological, and philosophical significance. In addition to the reading text, a scholarly edition also includes historical and textual essays, explanatory notes, appendixes, and a scholarly apparatus that provides access to alternative readings in other versions of the work. Computer-assisted scholarly editions have been appearing for decades, but most editions continue to be published in book form, and most electronic editions do not extend beyond the traditional book model.

In this edition, variations between the versions were split into apparatus appearing at the foot of the page and an appendix listing editor’s emendations

Example of custom annotation subclass

Annotations that describe variation are a type of Textual Note.Roger’s description of why this type of annotation is necessary:The purpose of a critical edition is to establish a new text informed by an editorial rationale. Punctuation, words and passages are accepted or rejected based on the authority that has been attributed to them in the course of argument in an Essay on the Text, a Textual Apparatus that displays the emendation, and possibly a Textual Note that clarifies the reasons for accepting or not accepting a particular reading. Textual Notes might often refer to other instances of similar emendation in a list of page and line numbers. So, for instance, if I wanted to establish a text that removes any errors due to mechanical processes or editorial interventions in the production of a particular edition from the past, I might want to write annotations that direct the reader from a reading text to the alternative versions in other documents (either encoded text or facsimile), highlighting the points of interest on those documents.

Our definition of annotations: Annotations are additional information attached to a digital resource or part of a resource that do not modify the original content of the resource
